General Use and

Maintenance

Fire Hazard

Improper or inadequate oper-

ation and maintenance proced-

ures will cause a fire hazard.

Protection against inadvertent

arcing that is capable of causing

fire or explosion is lost if any

safety interlocks are disabled

during operation. Frequent

power supply shut-down indi-

cates a problem in the system

requiring correc-tion.

Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the spray

area and tested periodically.

Spray areas must be kept clean to prevent the accumula-

tion of combustible residues.

Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.

The high voltage supplied to the atomizer must be turned

off prior to cleaning, flushing or maintenance.

When using solvents for cleaning:

Those used for equipment flushing should have flash points

equal to or higher than those of the coating material.

Those used for general cleaning must have flash points

above 100

°F (37.8°C).

Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates required

by NFPA-33, OSHA, and local codes. In addition, ventila-

tion must be maintained during cleaning operations using

flammable or combustible solvents.

Electrostatic arcing must be prevented.

Test only in areas free of combustible material.

Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only as

instructed.

Non-factory replacement parts or unauthorized equipment

modifications may cause fire or injury.

If used, the key switch by-pass is intended for use only

during set-up operations. Production should never be

done with safety interlocks disabled.

Never use equipment intended for use in waterborne

installations to spray solvent based materials.

The paint process and equipment should be set up and

operated in accordance with NFPA-33, NEC, and OSHA

requirements.
